Quote from: Ed Vette on December 18, 2022, 11:34:32 AMWow! That's interesting. Looks like you saw one being the highest and you ranked them instead of scaling them. Ok, that's cool.

To be fair, you said to rank them, not grade them.

"An old woman walked up and tied her old mule to the hitching post.
As she stood there, brushing some of the dust from her face and clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other.
He looked at the woman and laughed,
"Hey old woman, have you ever danced?"
The woman looked up at the gunslinger and said, "No ... I never did dance ... Never really wanted to"
A crowd has gathered as the young gunslinger grinned and said, "Well you old bag, you're gonna dance now!", and started shooting at the old woman's feet.
The old woman prospector - not wanting to have her toes blown off- started hopping around. Many were laughing.
When his last bullet was fired, the gunslinger, still laughing, holstered his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon.
The old woman turned to her pack mule, pulled out a double-barrelled shotgun and cocked both hammers. The loud clicks carried clearly through the desert air, and the crowd immediately stopped laughing.
The gunslinger heard the sounds too, and turned around very slowly. The silence was almost deafening. The crowd watched tensely as he stared at the woman and the large gaping holes of those twin barrels.
The barrels of the shotgun never wavered in her hands as she quietly said, "Son, have you ever kissed a mule's ass?"
The gunslinger swallowed hard and said, "No m'am, but I've always wanted too"

I also find it odd you believe posting objectionable data to support ones position is negative.  If you review the Jones threads, there are few "JONES SUCKS" posts. Instead, there are 'I disagree, his the objectionable data that supports my position type posts.'  The latter should be viewed as a positive on a board that claims to consist of the most 'informed fans.' You have to risk offending, and being offended, in order to gain true knowledge...

I also find it houmous that it's considered positive to attack our OL and WRs, as long as you're defending Jones.

You kind of just proved my point.

Quote from: Rambo89 on December 16, 2022, 04:24:11 PMThe biggest issue in these discussions is this.  Anything that isn't 100% Pro Jones is seen as hating him.

Funny, I see it as the opposite.  Any post with anything remotely positive immediately draws strongly negative rebuttals, usually in the form of criticisms that have been made repeatedly.

Perspective is an interesting thing.

Quote from: Rambo89 on December 15, 2022, 12:20:43 PMI am not sure if they have but it's definitely clear having not worked out an extension yet that they haven't fully made the decision to keep him.

I didn't say they have decided whether or not to keep him, I said they have finalized their strategy for dealing with the QB position.  There are more factors than deal or no deal.  Who's available at what price, who might they like in the draft, how much do they want their own guy, what is their top number if they make DJ an offer.

Yes it is a big game.  But I have a feeling that the brain trust has already set their strategy for the QB position for next year.

Quote from: kingm56 on December 14, 2022, 10:49:17 PMExcept that literally never happens after more than 2 full years as a starter.

That's the great thing.  Nothing either of us says matters.  What happens going forward matters.  I have no interest in changing anyone's mind.

Quote from: Rambo89 on December 14, 2022, 08:05:22 PMI wouldn't be surprised if some team offered Jones a contract that paid him $25+ million AAV.  I just hope the Giants aren't the ones who do it. 

I also wouldn't be surprised if some team does that.  And I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes a top 5-10 QB with that team.

I think the QBR  rankings buttress my point that Jones has clawed his way to being a middle rank QB despite being in a lousy situation with very little quality on the offense.

My inference, that some team or teams that have more quality on their offense but no established QB will look at that and think about what he could be in their higher quality offense, may be less certain. But I think one or more teams will be willing to sign him for more than some of the perpetually biased think.  Which will end the pro/con war that some have engaged in, here.

It's too bad we lost the stuff in this thread but it's really no big deal as I'm sure the thread will be re-populated lickety split.

It seems like there is a big advertising push for ooni brand wood fired backyard portable pizza ovens.  I ended up getting 2 of a different brand, pizzello, for my 2 daughters.  Anyone have one of these?

I never realized that the stork delivered them fully dressed.

A beautiful blonde was on a plane to Seattle in the coach section.  She got up and went forward and sat in a first class seat. 

The stewardess went up to her and said, "I'm sorry ma'am, you have a coach ticket and can't sit here.  You have to go back to your seat." 

The blonde replied, "I'm beautiful, I'm blonde, I'm going to Seattle, and I can sit anywhere I want."

Perplexed, the stewardess went to the cockpit and explained the situation.  The co-pilot said, "I'll go back and deal with it."

He goes back and says, "I'm sorry ma'am, you have a coach ticket and can't sit here.  You have to go back to your seat." 

The blonde replied, "I'm beautiful, I'm blonde, I'm going to Seattle, and I can sit anywhere I want."

The co-pilot goes back to  the cockpit and tells the captain what happened.  The captain says, "She's a blonde?  I'll take care of it.  My wife is a blonde and I speak fluent blonde."

He goes back and whispers in her ear.  She says, "Oh, thank you" and gets up and returns to her seat.  He goes back to the cockpit.  The astounded stewardess and co-pilot ask him what he told her.

He said, "I told her that only the coach section was going to Seattle, the first class section is going to San Fransisco."
